Just got a new Boxster S Limited Edition (I Hope)

[meerzee]

Congrats, Bobby. Truly an amazingly cool car. I would take extra care of this 987 if you can, due to the awesome color & limited run, you might actually have a chance of a Boxster that might be somewhat collectible and might not lose 50% depreciation in the first 6 months of new ownership.

Just kidding, ride it hard and have fun!
Send some "action shots" when you get the beast into its new den. (home)

Cheers!

Thanks for sharing your pictures with us, you purchased a great car. You will be absolutely amazed at what this car will do. There is just nothing else like it.

Bobby,

Your story is similar to mine in almost every way. First I was interested in the standard 08’ Speed Yellow, which was until I test drove the S and had to have one. But getting a speed yellow S was a tall task. Then my wife noticed the Limited Edition Orange on the floor and encouraged me to buy it, so we did. We took it to Napa for the weekend (100 miles each way from SF Bay Area) fully enjoyed the road trip and I’m thrilled with our decision.

My Limited edition appears to be identical to your in all options and MSRP. Mine is
# 17 of 250, what # is yours?

Enjoy!

We still havent agreed on a price. The dealer claims that on an limited Edition car they normally wont budge from MSRP. I told them at a minimum I had a budget of 65k to stay within. Looks like I may be calling around to some other dealers tomorrow. 250 units produced or not..... 68K for a boxster just seems a tad steep. I can get a 2007 911 left over for just 8k more.

There seems to be a decent amount of them still sitting at dealers in the northeast. Maybe i'll wait till the single digit temps sink in up here and see whats still available.

I'll keep you all posted.

wait for it man....of course they claim they can't budge....I think you are making the right choice to wait it out....they'll want to sell it bad enough as it gets colder and colder and that car gets older and older

Qucksurfer,

I noticed from your post that you live in the SF area. My wife and I are visiting from Pennsylvania and just took a bus trip from SF to Carmel and Monterey along the coast. We loved it including watching all you surfers have fun in the frigid water. The only thing I was crying about all day is that we should be doing this tour in our Boxster with the top down. It was perfect weather yesterday (about 60F). Anyway, we love this area and hope to return again.

I wonder if I could pack the Boxster as a carry on next time

The drive from SF to Carmel and Monterey along the coast is one of my favorite drives. Did you also do 17 Mile Drive, now that great too...... I have been to Pennsylvania in over 25 years, but I remember some wide open country there. Next time your out here look into renting a convertible and enjoying the trip.

Next time come in spring/summer. The Bay Area, Carmel Montery, Pebble Beach that time of the year averages 75 - 85 degree weather.

Nice to hear from you!
